    We recently reported that the competitive NMDAR antagonist (R,S)-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP) does not suppress NMDAR-mediated field EPSPs (fEPSPNMDA) or long-term potentiation (LTP) in vitro at concentrations that block contextual conditioning in vivo. Here we tested one possible explanation for the mismatch - that the hippocampus is relatively resistant to CPP compared to other brain structures engaged in contextual fear conditioning.

    Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain are primarily quiescent. When they receive signals, they can activate, re-entering into the cell cycle. Technologies capable of detecting a quiescent from an activated NSC in live cells are limited.
